Privacy Policy

This is the official Privacy Policy for Four Directions Native Vote - IC (FDNV-IC). This
privacy policy applies to www.FDNV-Indian Country.org (and each subdomain
associated with this URL) and other websites operated by FDNV-IC.

Since the sites will continue to implement new technologies and improve their services
and features, this Privacy Policy is subject to change. FDNV-IC reserves the right to
modify or amend the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to time and will post
those changes on our website. Any modifications are deemed to be in effect at
the time that they are posted. By using our sites, you expressly consent to this
Privacy Policy and any updates.

Four Directions Native Vote - Indian Country respects the privacy of its donors and
visitors to our website. Our Privacy Policy was adopted to ensure that we honor your
wishes.

General Collection, Use and Protection of Personal Information:


Four Directions collects and uses personal information such as: name, address, phone
number, and email address when it is voluntarily provided to us. This information may
be provided when making a donation, requesting information or registering to download
materials. The information you transmit to us on this site is encrypted. The companies
we work with to process your online donations also use encryption and security
protocols. The information you provide is stored in a secure location, is accessible only
by designated employees trained in the proper handling of customer information, and is
used only for the stated purpose for which the information was collected.


In addition, Four Directions keeps a record of each donor’s giving history. This
information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used by the organization to
analyze overall giving patterns in an effort to make accurate budget projections.


To help us reduce costs of reaching more individuals with information related to our
mission, we do sometimes exchange portions of our contributor mailing list with select
companies, predominantly other non-profit organizations. Names and addresses are
provided on a one-time basis; therefore these organizations will not have continued
access to your name and address unless you choose to respond to them directly.  You
may request that we not share, sell, or exchange your information for third party
fundraising or marketing purposes by following the opt-out procedure below.

order to process your transaction. Their encryption technology offers a secure
environment to ensure the confidentiality of your transactions.

Children’s Privacy

intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we
discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under
the age of 13, we will automatically delete it.

European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR)


The European Union GDPR is a regulation that protects the privacy and security of
personal data collected from individuals within the territory of the European Union (“EU
data subjects”). It applies to organizations established outside of the EU if they:
(i) process the personal data of EU data subjects when offering them goods or services;
or (ii) monitor the behavior of EU data subjects.
Four Directions Native Vote - IC neither offers goods or services to EU data subjects nor
monitors their behavior. Therefore, the GDPR does not directly apply to Four Directions.
